Best Mobil Oil for 7th Gen Civic(after Caltex Havoline is gone)

Hi,

As many of you have already heard that Caltex is shutting down its operation in Pakistan. Few days ago, I went to the same Caltex pump where I have been going for quite a few years for both fuel and mobil oil. They had total mobil oil at the pump. Upon inquiring why there are no caltex mobi oils, the guy said that Caltex is bought by Total and soon the logo will be replaced too.

I just want to confirm is the news true? If it is true, what is the next best mobil oil for 7th gen civic? I have been using havoline formula 20w50 after every 4000km.

Hi bro that is a nice to hear that you have changed the engine of your car. However, 143000 KM is nothing against the hi tech and robust honda engine. If it is treated well the honda engine can live up to 400000 KM. Just remember to use light engine oil like Shell Helix HX7 5W/30 or even more lighter oil, it is good for your car.

So you are suggesting I should go for 5W30 as well? And which company?

Abuzerkhan, a fellow pakwheeler uses zic a+ 5w20 in his vti oriel prosmatic 2005. He is quite satisfied with the performance and fuel economy. I would personally recommend to use a 20 weight or 30 weight oil in civics.

It was swapped by the previous owner. According to him engine got over heated bcz of coolent leakage nd they kept on driving without knowing it nd rings nd piston got fried

This may sound stupid but how can I check if my oil is reducing? Cz I can never tell by looking at the dipping rod

First u have to ensure that the oil is at the full mark. No more, no less. Try checking it early in the morning with cold engine. Take out the dipstick, wipe it off and then place it in again. Take out the dipstick again and check the oil level. It should be on the max mark. If it is not then top it up by pouring oil.

To check for reduction, drive the car about 500 kms after ensuring that thr oil is full. Then again repeat the dipstick procedure. The level should be where you had left it. If there is any reduction in the dipstick level then it means that ur car is reducing oil

Use Total 10W30 that pump will have it and drain it at 4000kms else i used Shell Helix HX7 5W30 in 2005 vti oriel without any issues and drained it at 5k. A friend has 05 exi it has clocked 395000kms and he was using castrol 10w40 from first day and car drives like a champ
